Umm I was asking this question before.. got the answer from someone replying here, but I forgot as it's quite complicated @_@

You need to go here and there, change the advance permissions stuffs, etc... can't remember which post it was though

OK i found a solution. Start + R (for Run) and type 'gpedit.msc' (without quotes obviously). Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Logon and choose from the right 'Hide entry points for Fast User Switching' and Enable it. :D

you know while we are on the gpedit.msc I have a question: On my network pc at work, I had to edit some options to allow me the ability to change my screensaver, visual style, and other features.. (Its ok network admin gave me access to modify this file) anyways one thing I can not change is my desktop wallpaper.. Does anyone know what entry it is that I need to modify in order to unlock the ability to change my wallpaper?

You can unlock it by going to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper. Read the explanation tab before applying any changes. Specifies the desktop background ("wallpaper") displayed on all users' desktops. That's what it says on the first line.

    • Microsoft Edge is getting new media control center, AI-powered history search, and more

      By monterxz · Posted

      "For starters, Microsoft Edge is getting a media control center. This feature is intended to let you control multiple media sources from any website in a single place." Oh, I've got this Media Control and couldn't find how to disable it. I hate it when a button appears on a toolbar where there was none just before I press Play. I probably would find it at least somewhat useful if I could start playing media from any opened tab, but now it only shows controls for media I've already started playing. If anyone knows how to disable it - I'd appreciate a hint.

    • Here's why it makes sense to name it iOS 26 and why it doesn't

      By JayZJay · Posted

      This is what I thought of earlier today because it seems a bit stupid to have an iPhone 17 running iOS 26 (or iOS 2026 / or even iOS 25/2025). Just make it simple so that the year of the hardware release and the software release are in sync. I personally think they should go with 25 or 2025 (not 26 or 2026), but syncing the hardware and software version numbers could be easier to keep track of. At first, it will maybe be jarring due to all of the changes across the ecosystem, but from that point on it will be easier to keep track of.
    • Windows 11 Font Frustration!!!

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      my dad is experiencing the same thing except it's with Excel. the font became thin compared to windows 10, all the settings the same. i've chalked it up to it being that its connected via DVI instead of HDMI. is your setup the same? i have no technical reasons to believe it's DVI, just a plain guess since the other screen he's connected to seems better to me although may just be my mind playing tricks.  also, why don't you change the text size in accessibility? maybe this will help?
